#blacktemplars #darkangels #miniwargaming
As excited as I was by these Inner Circle designs for the Dark Angels, we all know I'm a major fan of Black Templars. So when ‪@officialwarhammer‬ sent me these models for review, I couldn't help turning them into something that I would be able to field more often! Some parts of this conversion did make me worry a little about the results, but I kept going and it turned out great! Well I think so anyway! Hope this helps you guys see that any models can be turned into what suits you best in a pretty easy way! Let me know what you think, and what else you'd like to see!

I love a good conversion and this guy fits the bill. I'm torn on the robes but i think you made the right choice, red robes would look odd in a way that the cloaks they normally have don't.

Ye I think they wouldn’t have worked

@fateazura6768 4 ай бұрын

As someone who is making a DA successor chapter and eying BT models for their robes and chained weapons (sometimes it is better than gluing small chains), I see no issue in this and I love your conversion. It honestly reminds me more of a Judiciar with the arm pose and the relic. You've given me ideas for my own conversion with a different model now. I can't wait for when I get my box next week~

@williamamely7038 4 ай бұрын

Though the conversions are necessary to achieve your goal, it's difficult to watch my Dark Angels turn into Templars. But, they do serve the Emperor and both deal with the enemy with the same, blood thirsty zeal. Lol. Thanks for sharing, my Brother. 😊😊😊

I've never liked the idea of using regular Bladeguard Veterans with Raven Guard, and I think you sold me on converting Inner Circle Companions for that purpose -- sure, they're not the most knightly of chapters, but I do like the knightly Space Marines aesthetic and seldom have a chance to use it with RGs, and I think they're gothy enough to get away with it here. Now to learn how to sculpt little raven skulls out of green stuff to put them on the chest in between the imperialis wings....

See I love them both. I'm more Dark Angels oriented (they're my favourite chapter), but I definitely wouldn't be against having both. But maybe its because I try to limit my armies to Imperium and Order for 40k and AOS with the option for ONE exception (Eldar for 40k, AOS not yet assigned), so I don't completely go bananas buying stuff I'll never get round to!

@MediocreHobbies 4 ай бұрын

@ovan2190 4 ай бұрын

The inner circle of the Black Templar, they safeguard the greatest secret of all. Dorn is hidden away on the Phalanx working on his 40k armies and reenact battles with all the armies he's created The Black Templar act as his means of learning about all the new chapter😂 Great video as always Andy

The small cross on the top of the holy hand grenade works great on a chest plate. You can leave the wings on and scrape the skull away.

@crisisgear 4 ай бұрын

Maybe glue a skull to the center of the cross on his breast plate to make it blend in a bit and have a little extra focal point as well. Possibly a few red crosses on his lower robe (round where the legs are) would look fantastic I think. Over all loved the model and conversion as a whole.

@nopentasgaren-teed6388 4 ай бұрын

It came out great! I think that feeling you had about the chest comes from part of the dark angels iconography still existing on the scuplt's abdomen. Maybe paint a couple purity seals and glue them below the symbol you painted on his chest to hide it?

You need to challenge yourself more otherwise you can't call yourself Mediocre Hobbies. Can you turn a watermelon flavored space marine into a licorice flavored space marine? Yes. Let's see you turn a Sister of Battle into a Tau, or a necron into a tryranid:) Lovely end result, as always:)
